Hello fellow pirates! I am showing you guys the benefits of 4:3 stretched resolution or any stretched resolution in general, 4:3 is simply the most common. You can find an informative list to display ratios here.

Stretched resolutions are basically where instead of having the annoying black bars on the sides when you lower your resolution, it will stretch the game to fit the whole screen.

Benefits: More FPS due to your computer having to render out more pixels.
Disadvantage: Looks more pixelated and uglier (I like it this way)

  3. In the Open box, type "dxdiag" (without the quotation marks), and then click OK.
  4. The DirectX Diagnostic Tool opens. Click the Display tab.
  5. On the Display tab, information about your graphics card is shown in the Device section. You can see the name of your card, as well as how much video memory it has.
